California Catholics pray to tree that they believe sheds tears of God. Turns out to be aphid piss.

As the mid-day sun beat down, a group of parishioners huddled under a tree looking for shade, but seeking a miracle. 

Rosemarie Navarro, a parishioner at a Fresno, California Catholic Church says, "I said my prayer and asked the Lord to give me a miracle cause I'm really, really sick." 

 Navarro counts herself among the believers, a small but growing group that thinks the liquid dripping from this Crape Myrtle tree is the tears of God. 

Parishioner Maria Ybarra says, "When you say ‘glory be to God in Jesus name’ the tree starts throwing out more water." 

On close inspection, arborist Jon Reelhorn agrees, something is falling from the tree in front of St. Johns Cathedral. But it isn't water. 

"The aphides will suck the sap, the sap goes through the aphid and then it is a honey dew excrement from the aphid and it gets so heavy in the summertime that it will drip down," Reelhorn says. 

He calls it a natural process. He also found another tree dripping across the street. 

Perhaps somebody should show these morons a calendar and let them know they are living in the  21st century.

Only religious faith could make people this gullible.

And THIS my friends is why people like Ted Cruz, Michelle Bachmann, and Sarah Palin get elected. Because faith wins over logic every time with some people.
